1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL R107 Roadster
Here is the chance to own THE NEXT COLLECTABLE SL ROADSTER - 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. Its HIGHLY desirable and extremely elegant Black Paint shines like the day it left the showroom floor and Powerful V8 engine with only 107,000 miles purrs and runs strong as ever.
This beauty was just inspected and appraised at $21,500!!!
In the 560SL, Mercedes got it all just right, offering essentially bullet-proof reliability, satisfying power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that Mercedes learned about the V-8 W107 chassis cars into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived." Simplicity, superb build quality, and an enduring design are all hallmarks of the Mercedes 560SL. The 560SL was the culmination in the United States of what Mercedes-Benz internally referred to as the R107 chassis, a model run that lasted for 18 years, beginning in 1972 with the US introduction of the 350SL. The R107 chassis was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's line, and R107s are extremely well built and collectable. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory.
Now over 20 years old, 560SL’s are attracting new buyers due to its iconic good looks, simplicity, and vault-like build quality.
